<p>According to a report in the Daily Express newspaper, the Argentine Air Force is set to get a dozen Sukhoi Su-24 Fencer attack planes from Russia in return for foodstuff.</p>
<p>Due to this, the UK Ministry of Defense is in the process of reviewing the Falkland Islands air defenses. The delivery of the supersonic, all-weather attack aircraft could pose a  threat to the islands, referred to as “Malvinas” by Argentina.</p>
<p>According to <a href="http://www.janes.com/article/47293/uk-reviews-falklands-defence-as-russia-offers-su-24s-to-argentina#.VKGlicHf8gc.twitter" rel="nofollow">Jane’s, the islands current British air defenses</a> include four <a href="http://theaviationist.com/2014/10/31/tu-95-as-seen-from-typhoon/" title="Here are the photos of the Russian Tu-95 Bear bombers intercepted by RAF Typhoon jets" rel="nofollow">Eurofighter Typhoon jets,</a> Rapier SAM (Surface to Air Missile) systems, along with about 1,200 troops permanently stationed in the South Atlantic base.</p>

The planes can be outfitted with a wide variety of General Purpose as well as Laser Guided Bombs and stand-off missiles, such as the Kh-31 (AS-17 “Krypton”) anti-radiation and anti-shipping sea-skimming missiles.</p>
<p>We don’t know whether the potential deal includes armament; still the possible delivery of Su-24s to Argentina makes the Falkland Islands a bit more vulnerable to an attack by the <a href="http://theaviationist.com/2012/07/21/operation-mikado/" title='"Operation Mikado": A one way mission to wipe out Argentine Exocet Missiles during the Falklands War' rel="nofollow">Fuerza Aérea Argentina</a>.</p>
